Singletary made Florida Atlantic history

He became the first player in school history to earn Associated Press All-American honors when he was named to the second team in 2017, a year that saw him rush for 1,920 yards and a national-best 32 touchdowns. That earned him the Conference USA player of the year award.

He then made the All-American third team last year when he rushed for 1,348 yards and 22 TDs. Singletary finished his career with 4,299 rushing yards and 66 TDs on 714 carries.

His nickname is Motor

His father, Devonn, was called that during his playing days as a running back at Norfolk State, and Devin inherited it. “I was ‘Little Motor’ at first, but as I started playing football I just kind of carried it,” he said.

When Florida Atlantic put together a Heisman Trophy campaign for Singletary last year, they shipped mini race cars with his No. 5 on the side to national writers.

Pro Football Focus likes him

The analytics site rated Singletary No. 3 in a stat called “not tackled on first contact” as he escaped the first hit 42.8 percent of the time. That led to him leading all of FBS in yards gained after contact with more than 70 percent of his yards gained coming after the first hit.

PFF also graded him well in pass blocking efficiency, 10th with a success rate of 98.6 percent.

Singletary could've gone to a bigger school

Singletary originally committed to Illinois in the Big Ten Conference but decided to stay in his home state and play for Florida Atlantic in Conference USA.

He's shifty like Shady

Singletary could eventually be LeSean McCoy's successor and he's dawn comparisons to the Bills' starting running back. Singletary, who is just 5-foot-7, excels in open space and is known for improvising in the open field.

"I have him as the second-best back, and actually for comparison, I wrote down he's got a little Shady McCoy to him," NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah told NJ.com. "So he can make you miss. He does a great job in tight quarters. He could be in a hallway and you can't get a finger on him. Just real loose, nice little nifty jump cut that he uses. I don't know that he really has that big time, big time top speed, but we saw some of those same comments made about LeSean when he was coming into the draft, and we know how that worked out."
